ok this is the secondtimethat damn thing has went out. firstonei had a shop do it and it was fine tilll the otherday. now i was wondering how long can i drive it like this and if there is any serious things that could happen.. i csnt fix it for about 2 weeks with how busy my work schedule is...
motor mounts, suspension and some good sticky tires help. but your gonna see your biggest improvements in how fast YOU shift. get a good short shifter, practice your timings and learn your shift points.i redline 1st to get rpms up, then i shift when power dips off. it all depends on...
so youd shoot paint balls at your car???? my post was sarcastic because someone said put 20$ in the center console and wait above witha paint ball gun. henece i said "might as well throw big rocks". either way you are damaging your car.glad they cought them. :thumb:
if you want deep do the 2.25 witha straight thru muffler. i know hollowing the catwill make it louder tho. exhaust willbe deep as long as themuffler dont break inside.
good luck getting the headman one. when i was shopping fora header they were non esistant. everywhere i find is special order 8-10 weeksstuff. check punishment.
actually hogher compression and stronger valve springs anda cam that breaths to 8k would help u tons. hell even 7k would make a world of difference if your cams allowed it. factory parts are far from perfect, thats why companys like AEM and HK$ are out there building parts...
well 2 options for header are pacesetter and the new punishment one. if you order the punishment one specify whether you have powersteering or not, other wise it wont fit.if you get the punishment header tho get a turbo downpipe from somewhere, punishments is crushbent :(then...
hey my engine got as much dirt as anyone elses!yea the 1.8 does need some performance parts. i think there is more powerin that thing than we are seeing. this dude i know has a 1.8 with just a filter nad intake pipe. i never realised tehy didnt use a MAS to choke the intak. it sounds mean...
now i want one sooooooo bad. but buying parts for 2 cars cost more than 1 car lol.MR orientated cars seem to handle better in most cases just harder to drive. its alll about weight distribution. but thats on cement. my mr2 will never see a dirt track, its a bit too tail happy, until im...
he thunder does your dsm rev faster with the new sensor? i drove my dsm yesterday for the first time in a while and it revs so slooooow. but my buddys 1.8 revs faster. i knoticed that 1.8s dont have a MAS beforethe filter. i knoticed the revs going so slow after driving my mr2 for the past week...
isnt vin swapping illegal? if you remove oneplate and put in on another it is im pretty sure.id ignore th vin being different on the dash, smog only checks the door and there is a vin number on lke every part on the car.
my car has a turbo noise too. i drained my windshielf wiper fluid from the back once, took aboit 10 mins but when it was dry it made a squeel noise.so whistle tip remoarks yet? woo? :D
well for exhaust from what i under stand the free'er the flow the better, to an extent. with people that i know it seems that makingg everything all the way back is best. going from small to larger acts as a trumpet by amplifing noise while going from large to small chokes it, hurting...
id guy pacesetter headers again if i needed too. unless the punishment headers are proven power adders. man the smell from the headers paint coming off alone made me sick.
try your luck with a 1st gen. with I/H/E work done. ive seen a NA take a 3kgt from a stop by about 2 cars. both were sticks but the 3kgt only had intake and a muffler. now those weights that you have are curb weights, now im pretty sure when you factor in whether there is stereo equiptment in...
my next one will be about exhaust, im working weird hours right now so sleep iks of the essence. so tomarrow afternoon ill post a bunch of just about exhaust as well as my ecperiences with ny setup. can anyone post a good apexi and greedy one?
Let me start off by saying that in no way am i one of the most knowledgable peeps in the forums. i have been haning around for quite awhile now soaking up info and spreading wehat i know in the best way i can. im hoping that through this thread we NA guys can post a collection of knowledge so...
We need to gather information and make a new Tuning guide for our N/A on the site. im tired of seeing poeple pointed to the tunign guide when tehy want to know which steps to take when modifying their car. for the 1g is basically says "BUY A FACTORY TURBO MODEL" for our tuning guide. imm willing...
no offense taken. but on a side note i knotice that if i put REALLY cheap gas like ARCO in my car the 87 junk the car is a dog. but cheveron is sooo smoooth in her.
mmm 11:0:1 comp would be nice. im wondering what kind of power increase would be seen on our n/t with some tuning. i see hondas running 11s all motor and i wonder why we cant hit 14s. it just bewilders me. ive seen preludes hitting 13s and they are heavy like we are as well as FWD.now with...
i didnt say i gained hp. the car just pulled better than before, alot smoother. its almost the same effect as how much better a car drives after a tuneup. and from 4500-7000rpm the car pulled better than before. off of it the car seems not to rev as easy. its not giving hp, but it seems to free...
i put some aviation feul in with some 92 octane and i knoticed tha it pulled better in the higher RPMS. it was knoticable, as my car pulled upto redline and seemed to rev easier.
im not saying it added power, but at night the car just felt and was performing better. i did back to back runs...
alright then all i need to do is get my hands on a copy of the instructions and im set. i wish i would have seen this before my new topic :)anyways ill be doing the cheaper route getting a GM maft off ebay and then a translator off ebay and puttig the 130 or so im saving towards a logger...
im still wondering what the differences between the modified translator and the regular one is...if any. in the history of DSMs has anyone jsut taken a regular translator and maft and put them on a NT?? time for me to search teh forumms.lemme kow how the header performs in comparison to...
it is a good idea and id like to get one. but id ony get one if i could buy just the translator. i already spent money on my intake plus i have a k&n filter, the one that they send you looks like one of them APC filters from autozone. id gladly spend 200-250 for just the translator, then get a...
well 99% of us dont need couplers or the piping or thie filter for that matter. i think that if they bundled the GM maf WITH the translator theey would sell better. id be basically buying a translator and gm maft for 470+ tax and shipping and throwing the rest in the garbage/giving it away. i...
that damn big pic messsed up the post. but finally som results, kinda :)that 10 hp your feeling is the 5-10 you might have normally gotten on another car with intake. since on most other cars thee filter and factory airbox are the restrictions our sensor is the restiction. im wondering why...
well the car dont spend any time down low. i can launch it at 5k so i dont spendany real tme eblow 4k, which then the TVIS kicks in and its all top end from there. os is a shorter exhaust path the better route?
